After that there was another long peace
till the confederation was formed and lands
granted to The Canadian Pacific; then the
Metis took fright, AS they had previously held
their lands ON sort Of squatter's title, not
by sections, but in water lots-a narrow front
on the river and long strip running back,
just as herd rights are held in southern
Colorado. Fearing they would lose part Of
their claims they went into the rebellion
OF lS6g-'0, led by Louis Riel, who
proclaimed a republic. When the British
regulars came lie went to Minnesota,
and the republic" collapsed. But in 1885 he
tried it again, and there was some real stand
up fighting. The history is recent and Amer
leans Were not deeply interested. The net re-
suit was the capture and execution Of Riel,
the submission of the Metis and q prompt re-
turn Of the Indians TO their peaceful habits.
But this short war Is already fruitful sub
ject for song and story, and a reservoir of
domestic romance for the writers Of the British
Northwest; and in front of the city hall in
this place is a magnificent monument of Sell
kirk stone in honor OF the five Winnipeggers
who were killed i'll that war.
The summing up of this history is that there
has been almost continuous peace with the
Indians OF Canada since the Hudson Bay
company obtained control. And now the
officials have the system well organized.
and each little band so carefully counted and
located. that You can take the report OF the
commissioner OF Indian affairs and find the
exact status OF almost every Indian between
our national boundary and the Arctic circle
